Jenkinson's fun center Reviews

We have been coming down to Jenkinsons for years and especially love the South Arcade. We came into the arcade around 1 pm and saw there was not many people inside and they were cleaning and had sanitizing stations which was great. We were comfortable playing but around 2 pm more people started coming in and some had no masks on, some were wearing them under their chin and some had their noses uncovered. I know the arcade policy is to wear a mask properly but there was no one enforcing their policy and we felt unsafe staying while at least a dozen people wore their masks incorrectly or not at all. I know it's hard to enforce if they have limited staff but I think they need to do a much better job and kick people out if they refuse to wear masks. It's not my job as a customer to correct grown adults on how to wear their masks. I hope things get better by the fall or we will not being going to Jenkinsons until next year.

Its always nice to get away and spend a day at the boardwalk

Boardwalk is good with multiple options ... If u want to go to beach please e sure to come before 05.00 else u wud not be able to buy pass to enter beach ..

Clean boardwalk. Beach is too big. Sand sucked out of the ocean to expand it. Causes dangerous shore break for inexperienced swimmers

Loud, dated, crowded, dirty, drunks, not enough parking, food stale

Up and Running.. Covid-19 precautions inplace.. no mask needed on the boardwalk itself (optional)... but mask needed entering Jenkinson's park and entering into any establishments..
Go have fun..WE DID !!

Food is good but expect long wait times from seat, to drink, to food, to check.

Great place to enjoy for a few hours. We did go to Belmar for the beach and then make our way here for the boardwalk and fun. Parking is a nightmare but expected.

Always loved jenkinsons, just wish it was a bit more dog friendly on the boad walk

I really like this place is not big or small, just in line with my requirements. Have all the families you need and adults who want to go out together. Absolutely helpful is not great, so walking is a breeze. It is highly recommended to have a pleasant place. I got an aquarium on a rainy day. There are many things you can do to squeeze in such a small area. Enjoy during the day and night.

Boardwalk great for a walk but please eat before you get there. Wife did like the burger and fried oreos.

Best Jersey Shore boardwalk and small but great aquarium

Lovely beach and boardwalk - a throw back to the 1960s - so many things to try here. Great beach too.

Cool pier and great for families. There are a lot of things to do and you will have a good time.

Very happy with the beaches and boardwalk here. Was pleasantly surprised with the cleanliness of the public bathrooms. They have showers and places to rinse off sand also. I have two small kids and they had a blast! Highly recommend. Will be returning.

It was fun. The employees were nice and very helpful.

Lines were terrible but overall it was a good experience

This place is amazing there is something for everyone! Beach is best in area.

The owners of Jenkinsons work hard to keep the boardwalk safe and clean.

Good food, gorgeous beach, freindly staff in almost every single store or restaraint i walked in. Would have been 5 stats but Unfortunately 80% of the people are not wearing masks, including majority of the police officers.

Great outing but food is overpriced. I guess everthing went up due to covid.

Plenty to do here. Aquarium, fudge get trashed at plenty of bars... Oh pizza. Can't complain.

Great location, love the beach and and awesome location to take the kiddies. Great boardwalk to.

I loved bringing the kids down here for quick trips back when they were much younger. That bit of my life has passed now that they are in highschool but we definitely like to make it a point to come down here atleast once a summer to visit.

My wife and I had a blast here and we don't even have any kids, and it was raining out!

Went here for the first time. It was the cutest boardwalk I've been to yet in Jersey. The staff were very helpful in all the stores. The vacation houses along the boardwalk were so beautiful. There was quite a few things to do along this boardwalk. The arcades were great! They had cute rocking chairs and benches every so often. I had a blast. Thanks for the memories. I will be back for sure!

Nice beach, really a short drive from Philadelphia. Really quiet beach town, tons of cops for all you troublemakers. The water could get a bit naughty watch out for those big waves.

Best boardwalk if you have smaller kids age 1-4 more rides for them than seaside

Went with friends. Fun place to visit. Rides and amusements for those who participate. Upbeat atmosphere. Rides can be pricey, but rides are pricey everywhere.

Great for the kids, came as a child got to take my own to experience it.

Kids love this place. Expect to drop big $$$. Crowed and not so clean.

$20 to park. Super crowded, not many masks, $10 more required to sit for an adult beverage at outdoor familiar spot. Crazy ..decided to return home. $20 for 20 min. Yay!

It was a great experience being there. It was hard to get a parking at the municipality parking lot, but finally we got it. $3 per hour. The boardwalk have lot of shopping options. Also it got a lot of rides. It's a good place to be with family & kids. One bad thing is the beach is not free. you have to pay & buy a wrist band to get into the Beach till the stocks lasts. Usually it's available till 4-5 pm during summer time. So plan accordingly. Have fun.

Nice boardwalk. Plenty to do toward spring. Much to do for young ones

I love it so many activities and places to have a good time

Nice area to roam around with family and friends, except for the entry fee (10$)we have to pay for Beach..

Amazing fun place to attend with the family!! Love the atmosphere and all the fun we can have a family

Pretty vibrant place...vendors were super happy and nice as well...enjoyed my time there....cant wait to go back

Awesome! Boardwalk closed but arcades and Martell's are opened

Because it is very varied. Find from a beautiful beach to enjoy the sun and observe the immensity of the sea, it also has its restaurants full of variety in food, its attraction games which it enjoys from the smallest to the largest of the family, also visiting the aquarium.

Great family fun but expensive for food,drink and rides n games

Great place for entertainment, food comfortable pubs!

There s NO SMOKING ON THE BOARDWALK. YOU WILL GET AN EXPENSIVE TICKET. I was away from people. Police approach me. There s a no smoking policy. Wrote me a ticket. I asked where signs were. One small sign at being of the entrance. Covered with a bush. NOTHING NOTED ON BOARDWALK AT ALL. THE TICKET IS OUTDATED AND I HAD TO JUMP THROUGH HOOPS TO FIND OUT WHO AND WHERE AND HOW MUCH TO PAY. NOT HAPPY

Pretty nice if it wasn't too crowded on holiday weekends. Good food though.

The beach is clean. The only downfall is that it gets so crowded on the weekend that it feels like families are sitting on top of each other.

Cause it's the Jersey Shore, man. Actually tried a bunch of pizza in the area and the pies here are great.

We had a great family outing, short lines for the ride, yummy food and everything conveniently located. I would recommend this to anyone.

Nice place with about half the rides for younger kids and the other half for older ones. Some games in addition to the rides. Overall size is a little small, but entire place was very clean.

I was totally surprised to see construction on the beach in late July. Parking lots are $30-$40 outrageous! The contribution made beach goers squeeze in a small amount of space on top of one another! Outrageous....

Very crowded and extremely overpriced. Somehow, I never win any of the prizes....

Great place to bring the family or just a date at the beach

Great place for family and children. The amusement rides, game of chance, food and ice stands. Don't forget to visit the aquarium. The Boardwalk is clean and safe. The beach is beautiful. Parking is a challenge during the summer season. There is major construction to create a municipal parking lot. Still in progress so this may impact your parking options. On street parking with meters. Best to park in a paid lot to add void a ticket

Can't get enough of this place! It's a summer one stop shop. There's the beach, arcades & amusement rides. There's plenty of free parking if you're willing to walk 2 blocks & plenty of parking spots you can pay for if you're not. Family friendly.

Sitting on the beach and watching the waves was so relaxing.

A really nice place to visit! Food is great and all employees are polite, friendly, just a wonderful group of people!

Something to do during off season and able to actually enjoy. Open year round.

fun atmosphere, great selection of games and prizes to pick from.

Nice place to visit
They do not have reserved handicap parking

What a great family environment. Very ean and very affordable. Plenty of options for food and drinks

Not a bad boardwalk. Pretty typical stuff. The rides are decent but a rip off unless you get the bracelet on bracelet days.

The boardwalk is nice however the games are pricy and they do charge $10 if you need to use their shower and changing room after spending time at the beach. Parking here is 30$. I advise you to find street parking which the meter ticket charge you 3$ per hour (be sure to have exact change or just pay by credit card).
